rebecca lobo, she actually spoke about what she thought should be the target for the valkyrie saying that they needed an electrifying guard that the fans could fall in love with. and boy, that's exactly what they went for. of course, that's what's worked on the men's side when it comes to the golden state warriors because they have a guy named steph curry. that not only is a floor general but can shoot the leather off of the ball. and this girl is expected to be able to do the same thing. you today, of course, is sharp shooter, but also someone who can command the floor spread the floor and of course, help this valkyrie steam. that is upping coming as they start their franchise's new season this year. now, when we talk a little bit about what she can do, obviously, like i said, she's a sharp shooter, but to start her national and hurt should say career professionally in lithuania. that goes to show you that she's been playing against pros for quite sometime. of course, that only helps you when you come into the states and you play in the wnba, which, of course, is a competitive leagu
